Remote work
“sounds great until you're competing with hundreds for nothing”
Reddit is full of people who've been applying since january with zero replies, realizing they're up against hundreds of applicants with actual experience for every remote position. YouTube comments reveal the reality of remote phone jobs where you either get zero calls all day or 90 back-to-back nightmare shifts, with employers tracking every keystroke and login time. The people defending it are either established workers who already had their foot in the door, or they're stuck refreshing job boards that immediately harvest your contact details for scam calls. turns out remote work is brilliant if you don't need to find it.
